Setting up a wireless connection
I am setting up some windows 7 laptops for another office. I was wondering if it is possible to setup a wireless connection in advance? In other words, I know the name of the wireless router and the password for it... but I am in another office, so it is not detected on the machine yet. I would like to pre-configure it for the user so it would just connect when the boot up... can I do that somehow?

It should work fine. All you are doing is creating a profile. Make sure you have the SSID, wireless encrytpion protoco, and password all set up. Set it up (it will not connect) and save it. I do that with Access Connections (IBM) but it should work in Windows.
Try one out, then start up the computer in the wireless area and see if it connects.

Different states makes it a wee bit more difficult. Set one up and ship the computer to the other state.
You may need a trusted party at the other end to help understand and troubleshoot.
